The Spirited Energy movement is the invitation to all people from all cultures to come together in community for the common good.
Warren attempted to advance the movement with an impromptu mayoral candidacy that put forth a platform designed to address the disfunctionality of city life and the disintegration of city life in general.
His platform, which was adapted by his opponents in Winnipeg, Canada, address infrastructure issues and the disfunctionality of open-market systems controlled by cartels and monopolies.
The Plan:
• Eliminate property, business, and amusement taxes in favour of an infrastructure maintenance tax. The mayor will instruct councilors in each ward to gather information from his/her constituents regarding their desired preferences vis-a-vis the quality and quantity of infrastructure maintenance.
• Supplement the healthcare system with alternative health practitioners that will be compensated in a similar way that M.D.s are.
• Implement fast-track accreditation programs for immigrant professionals.
• Introduce low-cost on-line courses that are accessible to all and can be put towards undergraduate degrees and diplomas.
• Amalgamate Police, Fire, and Paramedic services and streamline these by having key administrators oversee the transition. There will be an increased use of street patrols, video equipment, and neighbourhood watches to provide city-wide coverage.
- Creating a state of the art recycling system that offers free shuttle service to and from waste sites. Recyclables returned for deposit by interested citizens would be considered “windfall,” and would therefore be non-taxable.
• Empower street patrols to issue tickets to anyone giving panhandlers money. Issue “busker” licenses to qualified performers.
• City administrators will ensure that all contracted services (e.g. snow & garbage removal, & street cleaning) will have clearly mandated standards & practices (e.g. public areas will be cleared before private ones), with the city being compensated for poor performance.
• Begin transition to eco-friendly bus transportation and a rapid transit system. Decrease fares to encourage regular use.
• Charge commuters from satellite communities an entry toll via license plate photos as they enter the city to ensure they are paying their fair share of infrastructure maintenance.
• Award companies and institutions that achieve cartel or monopoly status. Adjust the fees they charge to open-market values and ensure that expenses are not passed down to consumers.
• Offer “good-will” opportunities to these champions of capitalism in the form of city/life enhancing not-for-profit ventures.
• Some of these might include:
o Cleaning up the city’s rivers
o Increasing “green-space” within city limits.
o Building community centres and workshops in the inner city
o Building more recreation centres like skateboard parks, rock climbing walls, and wavepools
o Supplementing library resources
o Restoring historical buildings
o Supporting the arts, cultural, and science communities
o Bringing back the Winnipeg Jets
o Purchasing the Blue Bombers from the city
Warren's recognition of the cartel/monoploy problem is universal in scope, and should rise eyebrows in every city in the world trying to make ends meet. His recognition of the disintegration of society, describing terrorists as "angels of death" going supernova in a pyschopathic blaze of glory shows his insight into the dark side of human nature.
People around the world should look closely at this "Spirited Energy movement" and see how it may be applied their own town. We are experiencing terrorism within and without. Perhaps Warren has the remedy to rescue the human race from itself, and is worthy of the Nobel prize in Economics as well.
